| Abstract |
Pasteurella multocida has been recognized as an important veterinary pathogen for over a century. Conventional methods for diagnosis of pasteurellosis rely on the detection of the organism by microscopy and its isolation and identification. However, as far as pasteurellosis is concerned, it is not just sufficient to know the identity of the organism. To constitute effective control measures, it is important to know the serotype of the organism. A study was undertaken to characterize the Pasteurella isolates from local pigs in India with clinical respiratory disease by determination of their capsule types and presence or absence of toxin gene. Pasteurella could be isolated from 66.70% of pigs with clinical respiratory disease. All the isolates were confirmed through biochemical characterization and P. multocida-specific polymerase chain reaction. It has also been observed that all the isolates belonged to capsular type D. All the isolates were sensitive to chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline, doxycycline, and enrofloxacin, while the rest of the antibiotics were less effective. It has also been observed that all isolates were resistant to cephalexin, penicillin G, and sulphadiazine. The study revealed the detection of P. multocida serotype D from clinical respiratory diseases of local pigs of India, which could be one of the important respiratory tract pathogens responsible for mortality of local pigs in India. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 June 2015.
All research outputs
#7,942,395
of 23,911,072 outputs
Outputs from Tropical Animal Health and Production
#190
of 1,384 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#74,484
of 253,839 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tropical Animal Health and Production
#3
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,911,072 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,384 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 253,839 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
